In this work, we propose distributed and networked energy management scenarios to optimize the production and reservation of energy among a set of distributed energy nodes. In other words, the idea is to optimally allocate the generated and…
After disasters, distribution networks have to be restored by repair, reconfiguration, and power dispatch. During the restoration process, changes can occur in real time that deviate from the situations considered in pre-designed planning…
This work focuses on exact methods for a Simultaneous Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling Problem in long-haul transport. Pickup-and-delivery requests with time windows must be fullfiled over a multi-day planning horizon. Unlike some…
As the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm gains momentum, every network operator faces the obvious dilemma: when and how to migrate from existing IP routers to SDN compliant equipments. A single step complete overhaul of a fully…
Car sharing is expected to reduce traffic congestion and pollution in cities while at the same time improving accessibility to public transport. However, the most popular form of car sharing, one-way car sharing, still suffers from the…
Efficient workload assignment to the workforce is critical in last-mile package delivery systems. In this context, traditional methods of assigning package deliveries to workers based on geographical proximity can be inefficient and surely…
We study the data reliability problem for a community of devices forming a mobile cloud storage system. We consider the application of regenerating codes for file maintenance within a geographically-limited area. Such codes require lower…
Heterogeneity is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in modern large-scale computer systems. Developing good load balancing policies for systems whose resources have varying speeds is crucial in achieving low response times. Indeed, how best…
We consider the problem of dispatching a fleet of distributed energy reserve devices to collectively meet a sequence of power requests over time. Under the restriction that reserves cannot be replenished, we aim to maximise the survival…
This paper presents a practical approach to utilizing emergency response resources (ERRs) and post-disaster available distributed energy resources (PDA-DERs) to improve the resilience of power distribution systems against natural disasters.…
Integrating diagnosis and repair is particularly crucial when gaining sufficient information to discriminate between several candidate diagnoses requires carrying out some repair actions. A typical case is supply restoration in a faulty…
Improving distribution grid reliability is a major challenge for planning and operation of distribution systems having a high share of distributed generators (DGs). The rise of DGs share can lead to unplanned contingencies while on the…
Most modern data stores tend to be distributed, to enable the scaling of the data across multiple instances of commodity hardware. Although this ensures a near unlimited potential for storage, the data itself is not always ideally…
Order dispatching and driver repositioning (also known as fleet management) in the face of spatially and temporally varying supply and demand are central to a ride-sharing platform marketplace. Hand-crafting heuristic solutions that account…
A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources at widely dispersed places; this is exemplified by developments such as Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for wide-area service deployments…
The conventional design of real-time approaches depends heavily on the normal performance of systems and it often becomes incapacitated in dealing with catastrophic scenarios effectively. There are several investigations carried out to…
A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources over widely dispersed places exemplified by initiatives like Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for a widespread service deployment and can…
Today's data centers have an abundance of computing resources, hosting server clusters consisting of as many as tens or hundreds of thousands of machines. To execute a complex computing task over a data center, it is natural to distribute…
Providing uninterrupted response service is of paramount importance for emergency medical services, regardless of the operating scenario. Thus, reliable estimates of the time to the critical condition, under which there will be no available…
This paper presents an optimization framework for sequential reconfiguration using an assortment of switching devices and repair process in distribution system restoration. Compared to existing studies, this paper considers types,…
